The Prince Regent Is Powerful, And My Mommy Is Expecting Again! - Chapter 403

403 Her Heart Felt Like It Was Stuffed With a Rabbit

Mu Chengyao’s smile was still very bright, he said gently, “This shows that there are endless possibilities between Miss Mu and me. I have always believed that there is fate between people. Perhaps, I will coincidentally meet Eldest Miss Gu at a special time. That would be very good too.”

Gu Lingyue’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the affectionate expression on Mu Chengyao’s face when he spoke.

Although this Young Master Mu was a merchant, his family was extremely wealthy. He was also so gentle. It was truly a pity that he was arranged to be with Gu Qingxue.

Gu Lingyue’s heart tightened when this thought appeared in her mind. Then, she quickly suppressed this absurd thought.

!!
What was she thinking? She was already betrothed to the crown prince. Even if she felt it was a pity, what could she do?

The more Gu Lingyue denied it, the more she could not help but overthink it. In the end, she lowered her head to hide the emotions that flashed through her eyes.

Madam Kou did not notice Gu Lingyue’s thoughts, she was very satisfied with Mu Chengyao’s answer. “Of course. You’ll definitely meet her in the future. Young Master Mu, I’ll Go in and entertain the guests first. Please help yourself. Yue’er, entertain Young Master Mu well.”

“Ah? Me?” Gu Lingyue asked. She watched helplessly as Madam Kou lifted her skirt and strode into the Gu residence to entertain the guests.

Gu Lingyue’s palms were sweating uncontrollably.

She had never been so nervous even when she was facing the crown prince. What was going on today?

Mu Chengyao’s gaze fell on Gu Lingyue. He then took a step back and maintained a certain distance from Gu Lingyue. He said politely, “Miss Yue, why don’t we go in?”

“Oh… Okay.” Gu Lingyue recalled that after entering the Gu residence, she was unable to have a quiet conversation with Mu Chengyao and Gu Lingyue. An inexplicable feeling rose in her heart.

“Miss Yue, aren’t you leaving?” Mu Chengyao stared at Gu Lingyue and asked.

“Yes, I’m leaving now.” Gu Lingyue nodded hurriedly. In the end, she was too anxious. Her feet slipped uncontrollably and her back fell straight to the ground.

Gu Lingyue’s heart turned cold. She was already prepared to get hurt.

However, she immediately fell into a warm embrace. The man’s elegant fragrance wrapped around her, and Mu Chengyao’s anxious voice reached her ears.

“Miss Yue, be careful!” Mu Chengyao hugged Gu Lingyue tightly. He let out a sigh of relief. “Miss Yue, you can open your eyes now. I’ve caught you. You’re okay.”

Gu Lingyue’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as she realized that her entire body was in Mu Chengyao’s embrace. At this moment, their faces were very close to each other. She could even feel each other’s breathing.

Thump, thump, thump.

Gu Lingyue could clearly hear her own heartbeat.

It was as if a small rabbit had been stuffed into her heart, and it was beating non-stop.

“Fortunately, Miss Yue is fine. Otherwise, I really don’t know what I would have done.” Mu Chengyao seemed to be relieved. As he spoke, he faced Gu Lingyue and revealed a gratified smile.

Gu Lingyue’s heartbeat immediately sped up a little. From the corner of her eyes, she vaguely saw a figure flash by not far away and hurriedly pushed Mu Chengyao away.

However, the moment Gu Lingyue pushed Mu Chengyao away, she immediately regretted it.

That was because she clearly saw the hurt expression on Mu Chengyao’s face. Even his eyes dimmed a little.
